Westpac-funded TV documentary Air Rescue, which captures the rescues performed by the bank sponsored Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter Service, returns tonight for a longer second series on Channel 7.

The first series created in collaboration with Westpac, MediaCom Beyond Advertising (MBA) and Fredbird Productions was watched by an average of 1.4m viewers nationally, a release from MediaCom claimed.

The initial six part series has been extended to eight 30-minute episodes for its second season, with many of the crew who appeared in season one returning including Graham ‘‘Nikko’ Nickisson and Graeme ‘Gandy’ Anderson. Series two also utilises two more cameras in more locations around the country.
